To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, pursuant to the answer of 26 November 2025, to Question HL11873, on Equality and Human Rights Commission, whether she has consulted Civil Service (a) trade unions and (b) diversity networks on the proposed response and draft Code.
The Government is considering the draft updated Code of Practice for Services, Public Functions and Associations, submitted by the Equality and Human Rights Commission. If the decision is taken to approve it, the Secretary of State will lay it before Parliament for a 40 day period.
The Minister is following the process in the Equality Act 2006. It is important that the correct process for considering the Code is followed to ensure the Secretary of State can make an informed decision. This process does not require consultation with civil service trade unions or diversity networks. The EHRC has consulted on its draft guidance.

I refer the noble Lord to my contribution in Hansard, Volume 849, column 1924: debated on Wednesday 5 November 2025: Equality and Human Rights Commission: Draft Updated Code of Practice:
"…the EHRC has not been asked to carry out a full regulatory impact assessment, but rather to provide a minimum proportionate cost assessment to evidence exclusion from a full regulatory impact assessment and enable us to take an informed decision. Understanding costs and impacts is not new; it would have been a consideration in the 2011 code.”
